Description
The specification details for the PXI Oscilloscope/Digitizer, model PXI-5154, with part number 198958A-02L, offers a comprehensive look at its technical capabilities and available features.
This device boasts a high sample rate of 2 GS/s and a bandwidth of 1 GHz, ensuring precise and accurate measurements. Each channel of the PXI-5154 is supported by 64 MB of onboard memory, with additional configurations available, including 8 MB (Part Number: 780319-01), 64 MB (Part Number: 780319-02), and 256 MB (Part Number: 780319-03) to cater to a variety of data acquisition needs.
Maintenance and calibration are streamlined with options for external calibration and self-calibration, the latter of which can be initiated on a software command, providing ease of use and consistent performance. The PXI-5154 can simultaneously sample 2 channels, making it a versatile tool for complex measurements.
Connection to the device is facilitated through BNC connectors, ensuring reliable and secure physical interfaces for signal input. The Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) is specified at 1.27, indicating efficient signal transmission with minimal reflection.
The soft front panel provided is the NI-SCOPE SFP, designed for intuitive control and monitoring, while software support extends to NI Measurement Automation Explorer (MAX) and NI-SCOPE media, offering a comprehensive suite for data management and analysis.
Even after the End of Life (EOL) of the product, availability is ensured through Apex Waves, providing ongoing support and access to this critical instrumentation.
